[Recap] Recipe for Change 2016

Monday, March 07, 2016

FoodShare’s
seventh annual fundraising event, Recipe for Change, took place on Feb 25, 2016
at St. Lawrence Market south tent. The
event, presented by Tangerine, supports healthy food and food literacy in our schools, an important and
ongoing initiative by Canada’s largest community food security
organization. Foodshare’s vision of good
healthy food for all is implemented through a wide variety of programs within
the community which reach over 155,000 children and adults per month in
Toronto. Programs include fresh produce
sourcing and sales, childhood nutrition, hands-on food education from jk-grade
12, healthy school cafeteria model, gardening, composting, cooking, and urban
agriculture.

This year’s
event ‘Party for the Future of Food’ included a diverse menu of exquisite food
and beverage created by over 30 of the best chefs in Toronto. A lot of these chefs and restaurants are long-time
supporters of the cause, with additional new comers each year.

The diversity
of food was incredible, with a palette for everyone’s appetite. There were a ton of gluten-free options, vegan, vegetarian,
meats, sweet treats, seafood and more! As much as I wanted to try every
item, my belly just couldn't handle it.
Here are some of the delicious items I had the pleasure of trying:
